30 minute academic survey with $2 completion award and the chance to earn additional payment. - $2.00 +0.50 bonus

Low

Good

Approved

$6.74 / hour

00:22:15 / completion time

Pros

- Two of the three 3-minute timed tasks allow for early advancement (it's possible the first does too; I just didn't notice). That may save you time if you can't answer any of the questions there (which was my experience).

UPDATE: Bonus of $.50 paid on 10/23 with the following message from the requester:
"We've realized that the instructions for how you were paid for the bonus question were confusing and contained an error. So, we have made the decision to pay you the full bonus for the decision-that-counts no matter what your answer was. Thank you again for your participation. Manuela."
(I'm not sure if this is the best place for this update but it seems more of a "pro" than a "con" so I'm including it here. I'll also rate communication since there was an explanation with the bonus message.)

Cons

- I saved time on the 2nd and 3rd sections because I couldn't answer the questions; if you can (which is likely) those will take longer and make the pay even lower.
- Bonus instructions are really complicated and (assuming I understood them correctly, which is debatable) the bonus is unpredictable.

20-minute academic survey with $2.5 completion award and the chance to earn additional payment.(~ 20 minutes) - $2.50 +1.40 bonus Confirmed!

Generous

Unrated

Approved

$16.44 / hour

00:14:14 / completion time

Pros

Bonus possibility
Edit: Bonus came through this morning, so there it is. If this is the one I'm thinking of, it was ten cents per correct answer out of 30 questions that were on a 30 second timer - as a slow reader I'd wished the timer was longer because it was hard to read the question and all the answers and then think about the right choice in 30 seconds. All things considered, it's a better bonus than I was expecting!

Cons

Doesn't tell you the amount of the bonus earned at the end.

Decision Making - $3.50 +3.00 bonus Confirmed!

Generous

Unrated

Approved

$22.33 / hour

00:17:28 / completion time

Pros

Good pay, bonus could be decent or fantastic. Explain upfront when everything will pay out.
Update: Bonus did pay out as promised.

Cons

Nothing that should stop you from doing this HIT but -
- Math and science in the morning.
- A lot of wordy instructions
- Not told your bonus when you finish.

Approval Tracking

Wage Aggregate Tracking

This is fairly straightforward: we take the completion time & the reward amount (where available) and calculate the average hourly rate for the task. We then apply that number to a simple range based on US minimum wage standards to color-code the data for easy to digest numerical data.

Color Pay Range (Hourly) Explanation
RED < $7.25 / hr Hourly averages below US Federal minimum wage
ORANGE $7.25 - $10.00 / hr Hourly averages between Federal & highest statewide (CA) minimum wages.
GREEN > $10.00 / hr Hourly averages above all US minimum wage standards

Reward Sentiment

Not all HITs are created equal. Sometimes an hourly wage doesn't convey the full story of a HIT's true worth, so we encourage workers to give their opinion on the overall pay of the task. Was it $8/hr to rate pictures of puppies? A worker could justifiably bump up the rating a bit for something so adorable. 10 hours locked in Inquisit? Even for $10/hr many workers would appreciate the heads up on such a task. The Pay Sentiment rating helps connect workers beyond the hard data.

Icon Rating Suggested Guidelines
Underpaid 1 / 5
  • Very low or no pay
  • Frustrating work experience
  • Inadequate instructions
Low 2 / 5
  • Below US min-wage ($7.25/hr)
  • No redeeming qualities to make up for pay
Fair 3 / 5
  • Minimum wages for task (consider SE taxes!)
  • Work experience offers nothing to tip the scales in a positive or negative direction
Good 4 / 5
  • Pay is above minimum wage, or compensates better than average for the level of effort required.
  • The overall work experience makes up for borderline wages
Generous 5 / 5
  • Pay is exceptional.
  • Interesting, engaging work or work environment
  • Concise instructions, well designed HIT.

Communication Ratings

Communication is an underrated aspect of mTurk. Clear, concise directions. A fast response to a clarification question or a resolution to a workflow suggestion can all be valuable aspects of interaction between Requesters & Workers and its worth keeping track of. Plus everyone enjoys the peace of mind knowing that if something does go wrong there will be an actual human getting back to you to solve the issue.

Icon Rating Suggested Guidelines
Unacceptable 1 / 5
  • No response at all
  • Rude response without a resolution
Poor 2 / 5
  • Responsive, but unhelpful
  • Required IRB or extra intervention
Acceptable 3 / 5
  • Responded in a reasonable timeframe
  • Resolves issues to a minimum level of satisfaction.
Good 4 / 5
  • Prompt Response
  • Positive resolution
Excellent 5 / 5
  • Prompt response time
  • Friendly & Professional
  • Helpful / Solved Issues
  • Interacts within the community

Approval Time Tracking

This rating is strictly for approval times. Let's face it, no one wants to mix approval time ratings with how fast a Requester rejects a HIT, so we've saved rejection flags for another category. This provides a more straightforward way to know about how long your HIT might sit pending before paying out. The default auto-approval for most MTurk tasks is 3 days, the maximum is 30 days. We've tried to base our ratings around those data-points.

Icon Rating Approval Time
Very Slow 1 / 5 Over 2 weeks
Slow 2 / 5 ~1 - 2 Weeks
Average 3 / 5 ~3 - 7 Days
Fast 4 / 5 ~1 - 3 Days
Very Fast 5 / 5 ~24 hours or less
